Guest Reviews

I will start by saying that the pictures do not do this cabin justice. The cabin is beautifully decorated and spotless. The views were breath taking. I enjoyed a cup of coffee on the porch every morning while I watched the clouds dance around the mountain tops. There are a few trails near the cabin. My husband and teenage boys enjoyed walking through thr trails. Thw cabin is a short drive to different trails in the Smoky Mountains which I highly recommend if you enjoy taking walks with beautiful views. Bryson City is a small and relaxing town. I wanted to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and I found the perfect place. Things we did: -Great Smoky Mountain Railroad-Tuckasegee Trip -The Lost Sea- Tennessee -Catalooche Ski Area- arrive by 9:00am to avoid extra long lines -Juney Whank Falls - short drive from the cabin and and short walk to the first waterfall -Oconaluftee Visitor Center

I would recommend this cabin 100%. My first time ever staying in a cabin and the experience was more than great. The view in this cabin leaves you with mouth opened, the cleanliness of cabin and how it was equipped with everything you can need was great. Thank you so much for making my vacation such a great one. Only one thing I did not like too much but that not your fault....getting up the mountain was a bit scary for me but thats me. I recommend always to get up there fir the first time in pure light day time

I give this place and the company 5 stars despite the central heat going out while it was 0 degrees out! The property manager promptly brought us space heaters and offered to move us and offered a refund for the inconvenience. The cabin is spacious and beautiful with all the amenities you could possibly need. Very convenient to downtown Bryson City. We definitely plan to return!

Very quiet and peaceful with a great view. The location delivered everything we were looking for during our stay. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you will need. The host recommends to arrive during the day time. We arrived after dark and wished we had followed their recommendation! The directions were very clear but we were not prepared for how small the road was getting up the mountain. We made it just fine, but we recommend to future guest to arrive during the day. Not a negative to the location, just a footnote for your trip. We highly recommend this location to anyone looking for a quiet get away.

We very much enjoyed our Christmas vacation at the cabin. The views were beautiful!! Our family enjoyed foosball, air hockey, uno, dominoes, and the hot tub. We had a wonderful experience.

We came here with our family to ride the Polar Express on the Great Smokey Mountain Railroad. House was about 15 minutes from the train, so it worked out well for the 10 of us!! Great communication and nice place to stay!!! Beautiful view!!

This space was absolutely perfect! It suits the needs of virtually any group; whether your plan is to stay in and unplug OR you hope to have a fun/cozy space to lay your head in between adventures. We went into town and tried the food/beverage suggestions listed in the binder, took the quick trip to the Casino, and enjoyed the fireplace during our new tradition of family/friends game night. The hot tub was an added plus and the fire pit made s'mores an easy and fun vibe. You won't regret booking!

Thank you for a great place so close to he action in Downtown Bryson City. We enjoyed it all.

Thank you for a great place so close to the action in Downtown Bryson City. We enjoyed it all! We loved being able to watch the polar express come in at night.

We brought our 4 children ages ranging from 4 to 22. The older ones brought their significant others. We all enjoyed the cabin very much. Was very roomy and suited us all. It was decorated so nicely. Would definitely stay at this cabin again!

Beautiful!! The house is very comfortable and accommodating. We had everything we needed and more.

The best thing about this house was the amazing views, also the privacy. A bit of a rugged climb but that is how you get the best views. Short drive to downtown Bryson City. Everything was clean and stocked well with basic necessities. We loved it and hope to return.

The house was great for our family trip to do the polar express. very beautiful views

This place had everything my wife and I could have hoped for. The view was breathtaking. We will definitely be booking this place again.

Sunrise in the smokies was a very clean and cozy cabin. It easily accommodated our party of 6. The hot tub was a great bonus as well as the fire pit. The beds were comfortable, the cabin was clean, the kitchen was in good working order. I would not hesitate to book a stay here again

Stunning home up high in the mountains. Our family of six adults and three children stayed at 'Changes in Altitude' for a Polar Express Weekend. The first time driving up the mountain was a bit overwhelming, but the cabin is so worth the adventure. Spacious, comfortable, peaceful and a great value. We would definitely stay again if in the area!

We absolutely loved our stay! The house is well appointed, has a beautiful view, and there were even Christmas decorations up which added to the festive feel for the weekend which was such a nice surprise. Thank you for a great experience and we look forward to coming back!

The pictures do not do this cabin justice! Being on top of the ridge the views are amazing! Sitting on the porch with coffee in hand every morning was so peaceful and such a great way to start the day. Plenty to do at the house if its a rainy day, board game, pool, darts, hot tub etc. wifi and internet speeds were great! Fun little quaint town of Bryson was super cute, perfect for a laid back relaxing trip. The drive up the mountain wasnt too bad but we are used to mountain driving. The host company was very proactive in sending all information needed for your stay and all information was accurate. Kitchen was very well stocked. Only complaint is the beds are extremely firm, I like a firm bed but thats too firm.

This cabin was fantastic! Secluded and quiet, with an amazing view! The drive up is pretty steep so I probably wouldnt recommend when theres a chance of ice or snow. But its an amazing place to stay!

The most amazing place ever! The perfect location to town, far enough to still have the privacy of a cabin! So much room inside for a large group! Was a perfect getaway for the weekend to enjoy the polar express along with local breweries and restaurants! Great atmosphere all around! Great host! Will stay again!

We had an absolutely amazing winter getaway at Rainbow Ridge Retreat. We chose this location due to its proximity to Bryson City's Polar Express, but being able to have our large (6 adults and 9 kiddos) family be able to comfortably stay at this beautiful mountain home (to me at least) was really the highlight of the whole weekend! I want to come back in the summer and then again next Christmas!

I wasnt expecting the separate cabin to be as spacious and accommodating as it was! The Murphy bed was comfortable and our young kids had plenty of space for mats on the floor. Full kitchen/fire place/full bathroomour own little retreat. It is all one space though just FYI. The main house is very close and was great for my brother/his family and our parents. Its definitely up the mountain so be prepared, but the view is beautiful and the whole place was so comfortable and fun!

We came for the weekend to ride the Polar Express with our four kids and this cabin was perfect for us. It was very spacious and clean and had everything we could ever need for cooking and meals. The hot tub was also a nice bonus feature. We will try and stay here again next year!

We were pleased with everything about this rental.

loved this cabin so much!!
